"Again, VCS thanks to Chairman Hall and Ranking Member Lamborn for your continued leadership on this issue and your strong dedication to our veterans and their families."
"Prepared statement of Congressman Lamborn"
"Properly honoring a deceased veteran is one of our most solemn and indeed sacred obligations."
"I believe that there is a better way to determine need than drawing circles in a 75-mile radius around a national cemetery to determine where the most underserved veterans are."
"Passing H.R. 174 would be an important first step in addressing this problem and is identical to H.R. 1660 that passed this Committee and the whole House last Congress."
"I agree with that, Mr. Chairman. I would like to say to the gentleman from Fort Logan, I have been there."
"There is a long history of a need for a cemetery in Southern Colorado."
"I have twice introduced a bill with Mr. Salazar, which would direct the Secretary of the VA to establish a national cemetery in El Paso County."
"Also, last year Chairman Hall and I had a field hearing in Colorado Springs to discuss cemetery issues."
"Well, that is real exciting. Would you be able to, if there is any way our office can help you in that visit we would be very happy to do so."
"I believe that VA should conduct a preemptive review of the NCA's obstacles in meeting the National Shrine Mandate."
"I thank you for helping my efforts to pass H.R. 174 which I introduced with my good friend Mr. Salazar earlier this year."
